Valentin (Jean Dujardin), a hedonistic youth, is interested only in wine, gambling and women of easy virtue. His uncle Van Buck (Gérard Jugnot) is by no means opposed to debauchery, but still wishes Valentin would settle down with the titled but penniless Cecile (Mélanie Doutey). Valentin proposes a curious wager: He will attempt to seduce Cecile in the grossest possible manner, and if he succeeds, she is unworthy of his affection -- but if he fails, she deserves the pledge of his love.

06/06/2012 i want to see the whole See more 02/13/2012 I think I'm a little bit addicted to Jean Dujardin after watching "The Artist"... See more 12/04/2011 Nothing special, but nothing bad either See more 05/03/2009 A fun but simple romantic comedy. Not a masterpiece by any means but not a bad way of spending a sunday evening. Doutey is delightful as the innocent yet independent maiden, and Dujardin brings a certain amount of charm as the young suitor. See more 03/14/2009 En Never Say Never (Il ne faut jurer de rien!, 2005), adaptación de la obra teatral de Alfred de Musset, se narra la apuesta que el astuto empresario Van Buck (Gérard Jugnot) lleva a cabo para levantar su negocio de telas y hacerse publicidad, queriendo unir en matrimonio a su sobrino, Valentin (Jean Dujardin), liberal y adicto a las mujeres de ?la vida galante?, con una chica bonita de buena familia, Cécile (Mélanie Doutey). Corre el año de 1830, París se encuentra en su Segunda Revolución. En medio de este ambiente, el relato comienza con tintes de parodia política, aspecto que se va dejando de lado para que una desencantada historia romántica vaya entrando. Respaldada por una buena producción, la realización del director Eric Civanyan (en su primera película no televisiva) se concentra en su totalidad en explotar el carisma de sus tres actores principales, Jugnot, Dujardin y la Doutey, quienes juntos logran una buena química. El trabajo de Civanyan es rescatable por esa caricatura política que consigue, no tanto por la sosa parte romántica, sin gracia y algo aburrida, a pesar del gran talento que muestran la guapa Doutey (Las Flores del Mal, El Lobo) y Jean Dujardin.
